THAT WAS FUCKING AMAZING!!!!! So glad we caught up โค๏ธโค๏ธโค๏ธ
The more I reconnect with these people from my past, the less fragmented my life is.
Meeting someone I used to be friends with 20 years ago. It was during a particularly shitty period of my old life. We reconnected via Facebook marketplace of all places lol.
Wonder how it'll be. He should be here in 10 mins
My bed is too comfortable. I screwed up buying the super tufted under blanket thing.
Why leave when I'm so comfy?
Iโm sitting here all nice and warm under a blanket.
I donโt want to get up to go to the bathroom either.
I bought a thick soft mattress topper (10cm thick bamboo) and also got some new linen sheets. It has definitely made the bed extra cozy. I also have a heated throw rug on the couch though, so there are lots of competing cozy spots around.
I didn't know heated throw rugs existed. Off to the shops tomorrow lol
Flights to Perth and back booked - phew. Thank goodness for my in-laws shouting us - the cheapest flights are exxy AF when the cost is 78% of my monthly rent ๐ฌ
But it'll be good - we haven't seen my partner's brother and his wife since before covid, and they have a son and daughter now! So catching up with the nieces and nephew, and his family will be great.
I hope I can still get a job, despite being away for 20 days, but I'll do what I can!
I was feeling a bit sad that Sox has been a bit saucy and aloof (more swiping/nipping, barely moving off the oodie on my bed) the last two days. But today she has come around completely after I was watching some cat videos that alarmed her, and especially after hanging around all morning. I think in the end she was just getting pissy with me because I'd been out for most of the day 4 days in a row and was lonely ๐ฅบ
Now she's back to her friendly lap-cuddling, aggressively headbutting self ๐
Guess youโre glued to wherever you are now and on a weekend no less!
On the days I work in the office, I come home to a very vocal Fluffball who seems quite annoyed the treat servent wasn't home all day lol
Gibson's in a scritches and warmth coma
She certainly has a wonderful life. ๐๐ป
Inspection next week ๐ญ shame I can't complain about the concept itself affecting my quiet enjoyment of this abode ๐
time to fart
mickey too
Iโm having such a nice day. Slept in late (thanks to nurse Restavit), and have been parked on the couch with the heater on watching trashy Netflix, doing nothing at all
Happy cake day ๐
Thank you!
So it turns out Miniest needs reading glasses. Huh. Didn't have that on my bingo card for this year ๐ค. She's pretty happy to wear glasses too and luckily she looks good wearing them.
I hear that if you're buying plain spectacles, eg not tinted or multifocal, zenni online is pretty cheap, you just need to get a copy of kids prescription. e: and pay and wait n stuff.
Might do fajitas for dinner. Such a quick and tasty meal.
At the end of my cafe and chess breakfast with my friend, her partner showed up with hot lukomades drowning in warm chocolate sauce. Soooo good. It made getting whipped 3-0 feel much better
Love it when you turn on a random movie on TV and figure out exactly whatโs happening even though you only started watching halfway in. The movie was terrible but it hooked me.
12.8 degrees in my house this morning, the lowest so far this winter. Switched the heater on and back under the bed sheets waiting patiently for some warmth before I get up.
beach was nice , had on thermals, two jumpers and coat and hat
once out of the wind the sun is warm ๐
I have this spicy savoury mix thing people at home picked up. I can only describe it as highly unpleasant.
It is too spicy to just graze on, and it doesn't have a satisfying crunch. That could be because we've had it for a while, but I never remember it having a crunch.
I'll take it to work and if I can't enjoy it then I'll pour it into the organics bin
Check useby date. If the mix was fried, then the oil may have gone rancid and nothing will fix it.
So tired but on a time crunch. Need to get assignment one done so I can get the other four done. ๐ I've been trying to do assignment one for a week and have gotten nowhere, and this is supposed to be the easiest one. I am going to do more research and hopefully I can start writing by tomorrow.

Have been looking at a VR headset for the ps5. Had one before, was a lot of fun. Also connects to the PC.
Maybe.
brrrr
another busy day
stay warm everyone
Iโm with you there.
Had to go out early, still freezing even inside.
no trains today, only buses, looks like I'm mostly staying in until monday , except beach ๐๐ฅถ
What happened to the trains?
About to do the washing. Might keep it indoors this weekend me thinks.
track maintenance
Oh boooo, theyโre digging the main here outside my place, total traffic chaos with 2 lanes closed.
I just ate a little bread twist thing.
It was surprisingly tasty and filling for what it was.
It had was a Zaatart Focaccia.
Im currently participating the reincarnated Digg iOS alpha test pool. Another time suck
Good night everyone. Sleep well. ๐
